So, people make judgments, it's part of being human and having the ability to use our brain and make assessments,,,

however, judgment is a complex thing in and of itself.

I can 'judge' an action as careless, such as leaving a purse in an unlocked car. The person doing such a thing may be having a one off, and may normally be the most careful person in the world, however.

I can 'judge' a person's words, or the view they express with their words as 'sexist' is expressing a sexist opinion(assigning quality based on sex). For example, someone saying women should like pink and guys should like blue would be expressing a sexist opinion. The person saying such a thing may think the world of women and/or men, however.

In both situations, there are people that would use that action or those words to ASSESS those people as human beings, and there are human beings that assume the judgments of their action or words was an assessment of them as people.


How do we separate and communicate effectively the subtle differences between our opinions of people's words and actions and our opinion of those people themselves?

Interesting...

Aside from the ones that portray an online personality as a defense mechanism or for entertainment I believe our words and actions are who we are.

Judging the calibur of someone requires a pattern of assessment.

Since I have been judged as long-winded, this reply will be short.

The concepts used to arrive at that response may be understood but I doubt it.

I agree,

but said 'pattern' cannot be assumed to be established merely by observation of ONE moment,,,


or assumed to have been assessed merely by judgment of one moment either,,

no one can be judged from one's view , to judge anyone , one must be in his/her position to describe the situation.

Why the but?

"Pattern of assessment" implies assessing by frequency of repetition to establish/recognize a pattern.

because my post was pertaining to the difference between judging one moment/one thing (what someone has said or done) and judging the person,,,

Okay, I got that and gave a response stating that it can't be done?

I might add that those that attempt to do so are judging by delusion.
